Hank Williams Jr. just can't quit President Obama.
After the country music star compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler on Fox and Friends, which led to ESPN booting him from Monday Night Football, Williams apologized. His analogy was "extreme," he said, "but it was to make a point."

But Bocephus can't leave well enough alone, releasing a song, "Keep the Change" that really encapsulates the singer's outrage.

The media have thus far had a tepid response to the anti-Wall Street protesters gathering in lower Manhattan. But as unions have joined the ranks and the protests spread across the country, The New York Times is joining the party.

Stephen Colbert on Thursday paid tribute to the late tech "visionary" Steve Jobs, whose Apple products Colbert has often longed for on his show.

"No one else could make me beg quite like him," Colbert said. But Colbert often received the shiny Apple products he asked for, waving them around proudly on his show. "Most people have to pay for that kind of product placement," Colbert said. "And as a testament to Steve Jobs' generosity, and my celebrity, that everything I asked for, I got."

Last week on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart wondered what Sarah Palin was doing touring the country and speaking at tea party rallies. Either she's running for president, he said, or she's a crazy person.

Jon Stewart isn't the least bit surprised that by Hank Williams Jr.'s harsh words on Fox and Friends this week, where the country music superstar compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler.

"Frankly, I'm surprised he didn't punctuate his Obama-Hitler metaphor with, 'I mean, shiiiiit,'" Stewart said on Tuesday. ... "When he talks, I can smell the Jack Daniels on his breath from the television."

Stephen Colbert is "pumped" now that his favorite sport -- "Supreme Courting" -- is back in season.

And all eyes are on the this year's "big match-up": a Supreme Court decision on President Obama's health care law. The heart of the issue is the law's individual mandate, which requires uninsured Americans to purchase health care. Critics say the mandate is unconstitutional and represents government overreach at its worst. Colbert basically agrees.
